Keep Your Products Potent

Prevent your stuff from spoiling prematurely with these shelf-life preserving pointers.

Play It Cool

Storing your nail lacquer in the fridge protects it from fluctuating temperatures, which can affect the pigment. Also, twist the top so it's closed tightly. "Once it's open and exposed to the air, the solvents in the polish evaporate and it can become gloopy," says Maria Salandra, owner of Finger Fitness in New Jersey.

Put a Lid on It

Face-cream pots or makeup compacts that sit around open (even just through a primp session) are exposed to settling hair spray, fragrance, dust, and bacteria. Also, air can oxidize the active ingredients, rendering them ineffective.
